Dr. Strange is the veteran of Marvel relying on ancient magic wizardry in place of brute powerful force. The initial reason for the match was age; both Strange and Jay are powerful but are in the older category of their respective worlds. However with age comes wisdom and both have proven their ability to be wise in various circumstances. Jay Electronica has a more mature and observant style of music and Strange is often regarded as an overseer/mentor in the Marvel Universe. Additionally, there has been a Dr. Strange movie in production limbo for years with a slim chance of it ever being released. You can draw that comparison directly to Jay Electronica’s debut album. Hopefully, it doesn’t stay in this stage for the same period of time.

I co-sign most, but I feel like Peter Parker was disrespected LOL…don’t know if I agree with the Nas/Namor joint…then again Namor was a member of the Illuminati, is considered one of the most powerful men on Earth…

Sean P=Cable

Freddie Gibbs=Punisher

I would have never thought Kanye = Hulk, but it makes sense. This list is very good and a lot of these comparisons are definitely true.

I’m writing this before I read this shit, but if Jigga isn’t the Symbiote/Venom/Carnage, then epic fail…

@Willie P – War Machine could be Talib…as he more of a conscious rapper and Jay did say that he wish he could rhyme like him…so they are somewhat connected like iron man and war machine.

Sean P = Deadpool –> both are wisecracking bad asses

Mos Def = Black Panther —> obvious reasons

Great shout out on Archangel…he’s one of my favorites characters but them cats at Marvel suck for giving him his wings back. When that cat wa apart of the 4Horsemen, Apocalypse had him rocking with the metal wings…them shits were dope!

I got Carpel Tunnel from typing this!

No, Spiderman is obviously Brotha Lynch……. nevermind none of ya’ll know who he is and if you do you would probably just call me a juggalo for listening to him. Sigh. (FYI I am not a juggalo. Nor was this comment necessary. Sorry TSS.)

Curren$y = Gambit..Louisiana bred, spent time in a few other camps before finding his place with Professor X (Dame Dash) and his team of gifted youngsters..

Bow Wow = Morph..Once a fun-loving kid but as time progressed he became jaded and bitter using his shape-shifting ability to fit in where ever he feels relevant

03.01.11 at 12:26 am

definitely was gonna say Mos Def was the Black Panther as well..

50 always carried himself as a villain (“In every hood in the US, I’m the nigga they feelin’/Rap’s full of good guys, 50 Cent is the villain”), so I think Dr. Doom would have been a better choice.

Diddy = Mr. Sinister..a genius as far as what it takes to create a supreme being but corrupted by greed and a thirst for power. Mr. Sinister is known to take mutants in under his wing and perform experiments on them to assist in his own personal conquests..

Ice Cube = Magneto. NWA was a direct opposition to the powers that be ala Magneto’s use of his power against the institutions that oppressed mutants

T.I. = Deadpool…both witty and armed to the teeth. Also cant seem to stay out of trouble

Fabolous = Vision. Both talented but have no personality besides what was given to them (LOL)

In Team X Sabretooth was reunited with both Logan now known as Wolverine and Silver Fox however none of them recalled their past experiences due to false memory implants provided by Weapon X s ally ..Sabretooth had a falling out with Wolverine during a mission in East Berlin in Germany during the early 1960s exacerbating the already tense animosity between the two. The effort led to battles with both the Black Cat and the costumed crimefighter with Sabretooth ultimately being hospitalized under guard. Both mutants seemingly died of wounds sustained in the ensuing fight but once their powers were re-activated both were revived by their mutant healing factors..Sabretooth next set about using his stolen data to murder several mutants who were under consideration by the Weapon X Program which soon recaptured him and subjected him to the hypnotic power of the mutant to keep him in line.

Young Berg = Lois Lane, Aunt May, cat stuck in the tree, et al

surprised there is no mention of Last Emperor’s “Secret Wars” on this post. anyway – don’t forget Big Pun as Blob – superhuman strength and almost indestructible.

03.01.11 at 10:55 am

thastrings

Yall must have been smoked out when you compiled this.
========
i imagine.

Also, I dunno if I’d cosign it, but if you’re into the J. Cole hype, part of Iceman’s character is that he’s an incredibly powerful Omega-level mutant, but has yet to tap his full abilities.

03.01.11 at 11:21 am

Spencer Tracy

Also, DMX = Nightcrawler. Takes his faith seriously, and he’s always disappearing and reappearing elsewhere, mostly as he goes in and out of prison.

This is tangential, but I use the ” mother ” theory to see if a star is big time. To wit, my mother (all of 89 years old) couldn’t pick Kanye out of a police lineup.

She knows who Eminem is.

Yo, y’all never heard Last Emperor’s “Secret Wars”? This has already been done and even better, in rhyme.

So lame. I mean…where’s the artist’s rendition of what the amalgam character looks like? Where’s the funny writing? Oh my God, you’re so bad, guys. Worker harder at getting better because Uproxx normally does a great job. You’re making them look like shit.

i think ice cube would have been a better choice as the hulk, and dmx as nick fury

You should have done some better research on Rogue she lost her strength & invulnerability a few years ago & Ms. Marvel got them back. I like your list though I’m a huge hip-hop & marvel fan. But as a Wu-Tang banger Ghost-Face will always be Iron Man Jigga can be Iron Fist

you should do super villians now and use some more underground artists and less mainstream ones, but interesting list nonetheless

My vote for Kid Cudi is Spiderman. They both love Mary Jane, they’re both inwardly dark and nerdy, and as their alter egos, cool and stylish.

How did you miss DOOM? He sends out DOOMposters. He wears a metal mask. He calls himself The SuperVillain. HE BASED HIS ENTIRE PERSONA ON A MARVEL CHARACTER!!! He’s practically the whole inspiration for this list. You even mentioned him in the intro. HOW THE HELL DID YOU MISS DOOM?!

how can you not mention the Last Emperor’s song “Secret Wars?”
This article needs to pay homage to the OG who first compared MCs to super heroes.

“I would compare Wolverine’s mutant healing abilities to Weezy’s ability to bounce back so effortlessly from his legal woes.”

This is definitely true but, even more than the legal woes, he bounces back quickly from scandal without ever really addressing it. He has NEVER said that Gillie or even Drake didn’t write for him. People just eventually stopped talking about it. He has NEVER said that he doesn’t kiss Baby. if any other rapper would’ve done this stuff it would’ve been self-induced CharlesHamiltonization. Wayne puts out new music and people forget about all that stuff.
